About Kamar

Kamar Johnson is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, confidence and motivation concerns. He also supports people dealing with life changes and questions about life purpose.

He assumes that each person knows their story best. Sessions focus on listening and on building practical steps that feel doable. Conversations are direct and plain, often aiming to break problems into manageable parts and try small changes between meetings.

Kamar uses Client-Centred work to focus on what matters to the client, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviours. He also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at repeated relationship patterns and past experiences that keep causing pain.

Typical topics include attachment and abandonment worries, codependency, difficulty committing, communication problems, jealousy, guilt and shame. He also helps with panic attacks, social anxiety, intimacy-related concerns and issues connected to LGBT identity.

Sessions are practical and conversational. Kamar pays attention to immediate coping skills while also exploring longer standing patterns. He encourages straightforward goals and checks progress each session so people can see what changes are working.

To start, readers should be ready to describe the main problem they want to work on and any recent attempts to change. Kamar offers help for people who feel stuck after a job change, a relationship ending, health shifts, or other life transitions.

How Kamar uses therapy approaches online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client's priorities and personal strengths. It involves active listening and reflecting so the person can decide which changes matter most, useful for people who are unsure what to work on.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It uses practical exercises and experiments to test different ways of thinking and behaving, which can help with anxiety, panic and low mood.

Psychodynamic ideas pay attention to long-standing patterns and early relationships that repeat in the present. This can help when similar problems keep returning across different relationships or life stages.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before, and then agree on which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and may change over time.

Session practicalities should be confirmed before booking, because formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. Ask about the session options offered when you complete the matching questionnaire so arrangements suit your routine.
